No personally identifiable information is sent to Google Analytics. IP addresses are anonymised before processing.

We take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. The website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. Email communications containing personal data are handled with care and are not forwarded unnecessarily.
